    Lightweight Lining Ropes

    I use 1/4” braided polypropylene ropes. Waterproof, floats, very low stretch and cheap in price.

    Trip report on Noatak/Colville Rivers in Gates of the Arctic NP and National Petroleum Reserve?

    I have lived in Alaska for 42 years. A 20 mph wind is normal up here. I have camped with 40 mph winds gusting to 60 mph frequently. I have always used Eureka tents and they seem to hold together in the wind.

    If there isn't a canoe trip...

    I don’t even know what a leeboard is or what it does.

    If there isn't a canoe trip...

    I don’t know anything about sailing. I would probably capsize the boat.

    Old Town Osprey trolling motor setup?

    I highly recommend Redodo batteries. I have 2 300ah Redodo batteries in my motorhome.

    Trouble bear

    If that happened in Alaska, we would be told to grab our guns in case the bear approached us. I have been told twice in the 42 years I have lived here to grab my gun because of a bear in the campground.

    East coast beaver attacks.

    I used to go spelunking in West Virginia in the 1970s. In some of those caves, we would be just inches from bats as we would pass along some of the ridges inside the caves.

    Best canoe dog for wolf protection

    The two moose attacks I had was a female moose. I kept a tree between us both times.

    Best canoe dog for wolf protection

    I fear a moose attack more than a bear attack. I have been charged twice by moose. I have shared trails with a brown bear before. Wolves generally keep their distance, although a few years ago, a wolf kept a woman in an outhouse for 6-8 hours.

    solar charger for phone

    This same question was asked a few years before and the concensus was for a solar charger, the Big Blue 28 watt Solar Charger was the favorite. It was given such good remarks, that I bought one to use on my wilderness canoe trips. It is very welI made. I haven’t used it yet other than testing...

    Does anybody know where we could purchase some of these coins.

    Following wind, waves, and canoe design. Where to next?

    You might consider getting a splash cover. I bought one from Red Leaf Designs. The splash covers helps miitgate the wind and with any waves that may splash over.

    As stable as a Camper but lighter

    I use a removable portage yoke. I have 2 portage yokes. One is homemade using plans from Cliff Jacobson’s books for my Old Town Discovery 119 and the other is a CVCA portage yoke for my Wenonah Wilderness.
